ABSTRACT

Remote sensing in the thermal infrared (TIR) wavelength domain is an o¬en neglected subdiscipline within the ¦eld of remote sensing. Reasons for this range from a limited availability of spaceborne sensors acquiring data in the TIR domain to the, generally, lower spatial resolution of this data, when
